Posted by JustAnswer at customer's request) Hello. I would like to request the following Expert Service(s) from you: Live Phone Call. Let me know if you need more information, or send me the service offer(s) so we can proceed.

Hi. My name is***** and I am online and available to help you today. Thank you for your patience.

Question and answer is just one of the services I offer. I can also provide you with premium services, such as live telephone or skype consultation, at a small additional cost. Let me know if you are interested.

It is possible to still have signs of a black eye 6 weeks after the injury, especially if there was a lot of bleeding under the skin. I would, however, expect your black eye to have changed colors a bit and got a bit smaller by now. If it has not done so, or if it seems bigger, then you might have a clotting problem or, perhaps, broken an artery (high pressure blood vessel). If this is the case I'd suggest you consult with your primary care MD just to be on the safe side.

Does this make sense to you?
